Sport: An Edge
Fertile California has yielded yet another precocious growth. Another Helen, this time surnamed Jacobs, has been reared on exactly the same regimen as "Poker" Wills. She has won the Pacific Coast championships in both the junior and girls' divisions. Aged 15, she is being coached for the national junior event in Philadelphia next month by the same man, W. C. Fuller, who primed Poker Face to win that title in 1921, also aged 15.
Said Coach Fuller: "In the majority of departments, Miss Jacobs has an edge on Miss Wills at 15."
Miss Carmen Tarilton, who has played and beaten both girls in their 16th year, concurred.
